3 tbspolive oil
1/4 tspsalt
1/2 tspblack pepper
1/4 cupbalsamic vinegar
2 tbsphoney
1 tspgarlic powder
1 tspdried thyme

Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2
In a large bowl, combine 1 lb of trimmed and halved Brussels sprouts and 1 lb of peeled and sliced carrots.
3
Drizzle 3 tbsp of olive oil over the vegetables, and season with 1/4 tsp of salt and 1/4 tsp of black pepper. Toss until the vegetables are evenly coated.
4
Spread the Brussels sprouts and carrots on a large baking sheet in a single layer.
5
Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
6
While the veggies roast, prepare the balsamic glaze. In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup of balsamic vinegar, 2 tbsp of honey, 1 tsp of garlic powder, and 1 tsp of dried thyme.
7
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the glaze thickens and reduces by about half.
8
Once the Brussels sprouts and carrots are roasted, remove them from the oven and drizzle the balsamic glaze over the top. Toss gently to coat the vegetables evenly.
9
Serve warm as a flavorful side dish.

Chef Tip

To enhance the sweetness of the carrots and the tanginess of the Brussels sprouts, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon to the balsamic glaze while it simmers.
